The End of Power: Why Being in Charge Isn’t What it Used to Be

Power in the twenty-first century is a less concrete asset than it once was.

By Moisés Naím
Published on Jan 16, 2015

Moisés Naím has worked as Venezuela's trade and industry minister, as well as editor-in-chief of Foreign Policy magazine, and those experiences have led him to conclude that power just isn't what it used to be.

Naím is the author of the book, The End of Power, which shot to fame after it was selected by Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg for his new book club. 

In this broadcast, Moisés Naím joins The Takeaway to discuss his book and his own experience of power, and what he hopes the Facebook CEO and his fans will take from his work.

This broadcast originally appeared on WNYC's The Takeaway.

    Have U.S.-Belarusian Negotiations Stalled?

    Minsk clearly expected the dialogue with Washington to yield more results, in particular the lifting of EU sanctions and permission to export potash.

    Leaving Russian-Speakers Without Representation Is a Risk for Latvia

    If the Russian-speaking community in Latvia cannot articulate their interests without being seen as disloyal, they could end up embracing a pro-Kremlin agenda.

    Putin Has Been a Hindrance, Not a Help, to United Russia’s Election Campaign

    Russia’s ruling party would have benefited from Putin appearing as its distant patron, but as an active frontman imposing his views on the public, he has done nothing but harm both the party’s election campaign and the ruling system overall.

    The Kremlin Can No Longer Postpone Hard Economic Decisions

    Depleted financial reserves and a shrinking tax base mean it is no longer possible to simultaneously deliver high defense spending, price stability, and economic growth.
